Saint Louis Art Museum
April 5 - October 20, 2024
Japanese people have used silk to create items of clothing and decorative works of art for hundreds of years, ever since the cultivation of silkworms was introduced to Japan from China during the third and fourth centuries CE. Shimmering Silks: Traditional Japanese Textiles, 18th-19th Centuries celebrates silk pieces from the collection of the Saint Louis Art Museum, which has been collecting fine Japanese textiles for more than a century. Some were purchased by the Museum while others were generously given by patrons and donors over decades.
